I have heard they are remaking that. That could be a good or bad thing.
I watched no country for old men twice this week! Will make it a regular thing, I reckon…

It’s a prequel I do believe, detailing the events leading up to the first movie. So not all that bad!
I just saw AMERICAN GRAFFITI - G. Lucas’ 1st hit, which got the star wars greenlighted; a good movie and historically interesting. The “making of” is as long as the movie, and as interesting. Richard Dreyfus, Ron Howard, Harrison Ford, a bunch of girls… launched all their careers.
Got it free from the library!

Movies seen last week and this past weekend:
Total Recall. I can’t count how many times I’ve watched this movie.
Scarface - the 1932 version
Crank 2 - High Voltage. Jason Statham is bleeping hilarious in this. Sick movie.
The legend of the Drunken Master
Rambo 3
Bridesmaids
The hurt Locker - Great movie. I can watch this over and over again.
Sukiyaki Western Django - Hilarious, fun Japanese spaghetti western

Nobody asked what FUCKING movies you watched last week. Now snap my collarbone in half with a 2x4! I don’t care which one!

“Let Me In” (the remake).
Excellent vampire film. Has a sensitivity rarely found in the genre.[/quote]
Both were brilliantly acted and portrayed. The American version shocked the hell out of me, as rarely do we do justice to originals. They nailed it, and then some.
Ben Affleck-better director than actor.
Nic Cage, just watch his movies for fun.
DarkNinja, how was Sukiyaki? I want to see that one.
Movies I’ve watched:
The Warrior Way
Unknown
Green Hornet
Harry Potter 7.1
Battle Los Angeles
Season of The Witch
Drive Angry
Movies this last weekend:
Cassablanca—it’s old, but Bogart will always be cool
Green Hornet, much better than I thought it would be, funny and the action was not bad.
Grand Torino…hearing Eastwood say “Shut up you pussy” to the gang banger wannabe never gets old.
The Fugitive…Tommy Lee Jones…nuff said…

Yea, it’s supposed to detail the events that took place at the Norweigan camp with … some Americans…
I’ve read a couple things about it and apparently the director took all the information and shots from the 1982 The Thing and is trying to replicate it (including the guy who slit his wrists and throat and is frozen in the chair when Doc and MacReady find him).
Bridesmaids - Not as great as everybody’s been making it out to be, but still quite good.
Hobo with a Shotgun - Hilarious and quite disturbing. Very graphic film, but the violence looks purposely corny. I think it’s the best of the cheesy Grindhouse flicks

I’m sorry. I obviously got the rules wrong.
I think a truck will do.

It’s ridiculous funny. Very Tarantinoesque.
Can’t say if you’ll like it as I had mixed feelings about it.
I been watching Red Dragon alot on encore. Amazing movie if you havn’t seen it.
To bad we dont have a just MOVIE thread like the Geek thread or NFL.
Anyway I enjoyed the first Sherlock Holmes movie here is the premise for the next one.
"Sherlock Holmes has always been the smartest man in the room?until now. There is a new criminal mastermind at large?Professor Moriarty (Jared Harris)?and not only is he Holmes? intellectual equal, but his capacity for evil, coupled with a complete lack of conscience, may actually give him an advantage over the renowned detective.
When the Crown Prince of Austria is found dead, the evidence, as construed by Inspector Lestrade (Eddie Marsan), points to suicide. But Sherlock Holmes deduces that the prince has been the victim of murder?a murder that is only one piece of a larger and much more portentous puzzle, designed by one Professor Moriarty.
Mixing business with pleasure, Holmes tracks the clues to an underground gentlemen?s club, where he and his brother, Mycroft Holmes (Stephen Fry) are toasting Dr. Watson on his last night of bachelorhood. It is there that Holmes encounters Sim (Noomi Rapace), a Gypsy fortune teller, who sees more than she is telling and whose unwitting involvement in the prince?s murder makes her the killer?s next target. Holmes barely manages to save her life and, in return, she reluctantly agrees to help him.
The investigation becomes ever more dangerous as it leads Holmes, Watson and Sim across the continent, from England to France to Germany and finally to Switzerland. But the cunning Moriarty is always one step ahead as he spins a web of death and destruction?all part of a greater plan that, if he succeeds, will change the course of history."

BS, Gone in 60 Seconds was a really good film (guess you have to be a car guy though) and National Treasure 1 & 2 are really good as well
Matchstick Men was a decent film as well as was 8MM

I love cars (especially older Mustangs) and all those movies you listed above suck. Nicholas Cage is horrible.

Dude, I LOVE the first one. I know it by heart…and the special effects still hold up which is fucking amazing.
Those are some really big shoes to fill. Can they make another movie that shows 20 years later and still has impact like the first one?
Either way, I will be in theaters for it.
I just got this shit in High def (the first one) and the picture looks like it was filmed last week…aside from the hairstyles and roller skates.
^ So they released it on Blue Ray?

I’ve had it for about a year.
One of the greater movies made in my opinion in the sci-fi genre.
I would only put things like Aliens or maybe Poltergeist (the first one) above it…MAYBE.
In fact, fuck that. Aliens is all that may beat it.
